FHE great Lewis-Carkeek
wrestle, catch-as-catch-can, which
took place at Milwaukee last Thurs
day evening and drew out so much
interest in this city aud state, re-
suited according to the Milwaukee
Sentinel as follows:
The first bout which lasted
twenty-five minutes was the only
one wrestled and was as fine an
exhibition of wrestling as anyone
could wish to see. 1t was towards
the end Of the bout that Carkeell
was hurt and his collapse, which
lost him the fall was due to the
excessive pain from which he was
suffering. AS he left the stage and
entered his dressing room he was
taken with violent spell of vomit-
ing aud his trainer saw at once that
it wac useless to go on aud advised
hlm 80 give up. Carkeek. however
was bound to DO his utmost u con
tinue and refused To yield. When
time was called, he was not strong
enough to come up, but he came TO
the front OF the stage and announced
that he was very sick and would
give Lewis another fall and take 10
minutes rest allotted between falls
and Try to continue the match then.
AT the eud of 10 minutes he CAME
upon the stage at the call of time
but his unsteady step and pale face
were evidence Of his distress.
Lewis sprang at him and tho two
were rolling on the floor, but Cars
keek'S second realizing the help
lessness of the struggle told the
referee to stop the bout and award
the match 10 Lewis.
In appearance there was but little
difference between them, though
Carkeek looked slightly heavier
and more muscular. Lewis seemed
IN the best Of condition, and had
llttle or no extra weight.
What there was Of the match was
pronounced as by far the most ex-
citing and interesting sport Of the
KIND ever seen in the city. Car
keek was regarded as the hardest
man Lewis had ever met, Carkeek's
Ironwood friends, Of whom there
were about sixty present, had bet
considerably on their favorite, but
did not seem to feel the loss Of their
money They expressed the great
est confidence in Carkeek's ability
as a wrestler and offered to match
him against Lewis for any sum
whatever.
